This project is interested in the craft of willow weaving as a means of peatland rehabilitation in the Flow Country. Weaving ties people to their land and wildlife through patterns of care and responsibility and could serve to challenge the loss of crofting traditions in the Scottish Highlands. A proposal for a COP36 Convention Centre celebrates weaving and functions as a vessel for Scottish crofting identity, engaging visitors with the condition of the unstable ground.

Weaving and marshes are inherently related due to the pliability of the plants that can be cultivated on wet soil. An exposed non-homogeneous surface of the woven architecture shows how it was made pointing to the land where the material came from. On a poetic level, weaving becomes a built metaphor that illustrates architecture’s interconnectedness with nature and the multiplicity of meanings stemming from its physical connection to landscapes and people.
